JOHANNESBURG: Former Cameroon star Samuel Eto’o was elected to the CAF executive committee by acclamation in Cairo on Wednesday as he was the lone candidate from the central Africa region. The 44-year-old became eligible only last week after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) overturned a CAF ban on the ex-Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea forward. His elevation to the executive of the African governing body came at a CAF extraordinary general assembly — an annual meeting of top football officials in the continent. Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) president Eto’o now joins the supreme decision-making body in Africa. The gathering at a hotel overlooking the pyramids also confirmed that South African Patrice Motsepe would serve a second four-year term as CAF president. He was unopposed. Motsepe was elected by acclamation in Morocco four years ago, succeeding Malagasy Ahmad Ahmad, who had been suspended by FIFA over financial misconduct. CAF secretary general Veron Mosengo-Omba is among those who have credited Motsepe with improving the finances and governance of the organization. “Patrice was a gift for African football.
TUNIS: The Libyan football federation announced Tuesday in a statement posted on Facebook the appointment of AFCON-winner Aliou Cisse as new head coach of the national team. Cisse, widely regarded as one of Africa’s top coaches and winner of the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal in 2022, will lead Libya until 2027, the federation said. “We welcome the best coach in Africa,” the statement said, without providing further details on Cisse’s new contract or its value. He replaces Nasser Al-Hadhiri, who had been appointed in September 2024. The federation said Cisse, 48, will be officially presented to the media on March 13 in Tripoli, ahead of the start of his tenure. Libya did not qualify for the upcoming edition of AFCON, which is set to take place in Morocco next winter. However, they currently sit second in their World Cup qualifying group, and next take on Angola later this month.
